Really!! Warp 6 is only Full Impulse?? I know there was a change of
scale in the Warp Speeds between ST:TOS and ST:TNG, but I was always
under the impression Full Impulse was roughly equivalent to Warp 1.

Have I been wrong all these years?? Or did La Forge stuff up?? Or did
the scriptwriters stuff up??

The scriptwriters were wrong.

BTW, are you familiar with DITL.ORG?

Wonderful site by Graham Kennedy.

One very interesting page there is this one:


http://www.ditl.org/article-page.php?ArticleID=17


So, I think we should forget what is 'official'. :-P

There are a number of very useful sites out there.
In the past I probably also spoke about:

http://www.chakoteya.net/

If you need to look up a transcript for Star Trek, or Doctor Who, that's
the place to be.

I have seen that site mentioned before ... always intrigued me why it
was named for a character in ST:Voy! Although given my attrosise/bad
spelling, I've probable got that character name wrong in any case!! ;-)

Boggles the mind yes. Chakotay was never a favorite of mine. Way too boring.
I always imagined Chakotay having another gig. Standing at the entrance
of the bar Cheers. :-P

It's just one of the many series being repeated on Aus T.V. now-a-days!!
Many, many, many, repeats.

When Australia switched to Digital T.V. broadcasting, each single T.V.

channels with Ads!!

Yes, 1992-1999:

They had a cool theme song too. It's called 'Final Frontier' :-)
As far as I know it had no repeats over here either.
